Leave it to the Open Source guys!
"An open-source project has formed to recreate a more robust version of the anti-spam service offered by Blue Security, following a spammer's attack that shut down the company's Blue Frog service. The project--named Okopipi for a poisonous frog found in Suriname--will attempt to build a peer-to-peer version of the anti-spam service that is more resilient to denial-of-service attacks, like the ones that shut down Blue Security's site and service as well as several Internet service providers for two weeks. On May 16, Blue Security shuttered its Blue Frog service to halt attacks on its clients by an irate spammer. The company declared that it would not reenter the anti-spam business for the foreseeable future." http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/216?ref=rss Imhotep Imhotep |
